Description
The Knightsbridge 3-gang grid faceplate is a 148mm x 88mm premium-grade steel cover plate finished in black nickel, designed to hold three modular grid switch or socket modules within Knightsbridge's screwless grid system. The faceplate clips onto a separately-purchased GDS002F metal grid frame (sold separately), which in turn mounts to a standard UK back box.
Used in commercial fit-outs, hotel refurbishments and residential projects where a consistent finish across multiple switch types is required, the grid system allows lighting switches, socket outlets, data ports, TV/satellite sockets and dimmer modules to be combined within a single faceplate. This 3-gang version accepts three grid modules in a horizontal arrangement, with each module sitting within a defined aperture in the steel plate.
The black nickel finish provides a dark metallic tone that sits between matt black and brushed nickel, offering a contemporary alternative to chrome or brass in monochrome interiors. The screwless design conceals all fixings behind the cover plate, which clips onto the grid frame without visible screws on the wall surface. At 3.5mm projection from the wall once fitted, the faceplate sits nearly flush with plaster.

Frequently Asked
What else is needed to install this faceplate?
This faceplate requires a GDS002F metal grid frame (sold separately), which mounts to the back box. You then need three grid modules (switches, sockets, dimmers, data ports etc) that clip into the frame, followed by this cover plate that clips over the entire assembly.
What back box size is required?
The 3-gang grid frame typically requires a 47mm deep 3-gang UK back box. Check the GDS002F frame specification for exact mounting requirements.
Can the plate be removed after installation?
Yes. The screwless cover plate clips onto the metal grid frame and can be removed by hand for redecorating or module changes, then re-clipped without rewiring.
What finishes are available in this range?
Knightsbridge produces grid faceplates in multiple finishes including polished chrome, brushed chrome, matt black, black nickel, polished brass and white. Search for 'Knightsbridge grid faceplate' at Niori to see all variants in stock.
